PHL eyes joint exploration with China to address high oil prices

“We’re doing all we can to make sure that when President Xi comes here, we can sign the joint exploration na magsimula na tayo na maghanap ng natural gas at langis at sa ganun po magkaroon na tayo ng energy security,” Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said during the October 3 press briefing.

Chinese President Xi Jinping is scheduled to visit Manila next month.

According to Roque, the joint exploration deal is one of the most important deal the Philippines is eyeing with China to address Philippines’ dependence on imported oil products.
